Active holidays Carinthia for
memorable adventures
For passionate mountain bikers, our sports hotel on the Turracher Höhe in Carinthia is the ideal springboard for adventures. You can choose from attractive tours, also suitable for families, for mountain and electric bikes. Downhill fans can try the trails of the Trail Area on the Turracher Höhe, including the 6-kilometre long Kornock Flowtrail, shorter trails as well as a beginners trail. You can rent a bike in the sports shop near our hotel. For those who want to improve their skills we offer special E-Bike and Downhill Weeks.
The terrain on the Turracher Höhe (1,763 m) is ideal for runners and Nordic walkers. Through lush forests and over blooming alpine meadows, you go. There are various route options to choose from. And the best part: repeated altitude training through running also has extremely positive effects. The body is better supplied with oxygen, and sugar and fat burning also improve.

Other beautiful spots for cold bathing are the nearby Grünsee and Schwarzsee lakes.

The Biosphere Reserve Nockberge extends from Lungau in Salzburg over large parts of North Carinthia to the Turracher Höhe and the Hotel Hochschober directly at Lake Turrach in Carinthia. Its name is due to the rounded, over 2,000-meter-high Nockberge. In summer, the hotel program offers guided excursions into the UNESCO-awarded natural and cultural landscapes of the Nockberge.
